Start of development of an ad server system with the goal of providing affordable ad server technologies of the highest technological standard to small and medium-sized businesses.

We reach the next milestone in our corporate history. Not only do we provide servers and install software for our clients, now we also begin to develop individual software based on client specifications and to optimise existing software.
Here’s a small anecdote related to this: A client called us and complained about their rented server being “too slow”. They would not accept any of our assertions that this would have to be due to the software used. Thus, we made a proposal. We would optimise the software used. Should the server still be overloaded or “too slow” afterwards, we would not charge the client for our services. However, should our work lead to an improvement, the client would pay our usual rates.
After about 3 weeks of optimisation, the work was done: the previously overloaded server was now anything but overloaded and the client was able to use the optimised software on the server fourfold, without the server displaying any signs of being critically overworked.

We begin actively developing shop systems and eCommerce software.
To begin with, we distribute, install and maintain the phpauction.org auction house software as the exclusive partner for the commercial version in Germany.

At the same time, we implement our first online shop projects for clients based on the – at this point relatively new – osCommerce software.

Due to continuous and steady increase in demand for web- and server-hosting, it was decided to focus solely on this and to discontinue work in the hardware area.

Due to increasing demand, web- and server-hosting was added to our range of services.
